元旦来历英文2o字

古人把舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天当做一年之始，把正月初一称为“元旦”。

The ancients regarded the day when Emperor Shun offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and Emperor Yao as the beginning of a year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day".

有个传说，是在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时，尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事，很受广大百姓爱戴，但因其子无才不太成器，他没把“天子”的皇位传给自己的儿子，而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。

There is a legend that when Yao and Shun flourished more than 4000 years ago, Emperor Yao was diligent in doing many good things for the people and was loved by the people. However, because his son was not very talented, he did not pass the throne of "Emperor of Heaven" to his son, but to Shun, who had both moral and ability.

尧对舜说：“ 你今后一定要把帝位传交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的禹，禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为“元旦”，或“元正”，这就是古代的元旦。

Yao said to Shun, "You must hand over the throne to me in the future, and you can be at ease when I die." Later, Shun passed the throne on to Yu, who had made great achievements in flood control. Like Shun, Yu did a lot of good deeds for the people and was very popular. Later, people regarded the day when Emperor Shun offered sacrifices to heaven and earth after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day", or "Yuanzheng", which was the ancient New Year's Day.

Yuandan is the first day of the lunar calendar. It is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling. It represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones. As the first day of the year, Yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times. Customs 1. Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chinese traditional custom, starting from haishi(9p.m. to 11p.m.)of the last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare offering s to deities at the altar. At the same time, they too prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui). After haishi, zishi(11p.m. to 1a.m.)will come, and this is the arrival of New Year(Yuandan). At this moment, people begin the celebration with fireworks. Vegetarian and sweet foods will then be placed are the altar for offerings, and incense be burned to welcome the deities. In the ancient times, it was believed that haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui. At the same night, some families will follow the instruction in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the "fortune deity" during the "fortune time" to receive the deity. If the direction of the "fortune deity" is at the "ill position", people will choose to receive "happy deity" or "noble deity" instead. 2. There is an apparent difference in the custom of food taking on Yuandan between the Chinese in the northern and southern regions. The northern Chinese has the habit of taking jiao zi(dumpling made of flour with vegetable and meat wrapped inside). Some people may put a sweet or a coin inside jiao zi, hoping to have a sweet year after tasting the sweet and a wealthy year after tasting the coin. on the other hand, the southern Chinese have the taboo for killing on Yuandan. Therefore, they do not take meat in tee morning of Yuandan, so as to avoid bloodshed or mutual slaughter. In order to evade misfortune, they have the first meal of this day without meat. Instead, they take vegetarian food for the sake of virtue. 3. What is special during the New Year is that parents or elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the children. People in the ancient times were more particular in giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the eve of New Year so that the kids could suppress the past year and enter the New Year. Ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable future. Representing the wishes for the healthy psychological growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolises the elders' hope to see their children overcome all the unpredictable elements brought by the "year". 4. There is an extraordinary number of taboos on Yuandan. Each place has its own customs of taboo. Here, we will mention only a few common taboos in Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Southeast Asia: In the past, people commonly believed that fortune was hidden in the house. So, w\sweeping of floor must be done in the direction moving inwards, and there was no clearance of rubbish at night. Particularly on the New Tear day, in order to keep fortune from flowing out, there was no sweeping. Some families kept this taboo until the fifth or even the fifteenth day. If anything was broken, the pieces were wrapped up in order not to let the fortune slip away and were disposed only the fifth day. Yuandan(in more serious families, the period extends from the 1st to the 15th day) marks the new beginning. In the hope that New Year brings good beginning, people should utter neither unkind words nor vulgar language. Making noises, fighting, quarreling and especially weeping are avoided to deter misfortune. There are even taboos of taking medicine and having sneeze, for it is believed that they can lead to sickness throughout the year. Taboos of the past also concerned the use of knife and the breaking of things. If a thing was broken, the word "break" or any other word importing similar meaning was not used. Instead, words like "failing to the floor and blossoming like flowers" which delivered pleasant senses were used to suggest good connections. On Yuandan, neither lending and nor giving of money to others is done so that there will be no out-flowing of money during the year. There is also the saying that if a male sleeps in the afternoon, his career will breakdown, and if a female has an afternoon nap, the kitchen will collapse. 5. Ancient rite: In the past, there was a rite called he zheng(proper greeting)during New Year. When a person paid a New Year visit to friends or relatives, he took along a piece of paper or card on which the name of the host was written wit Chinese brush. The receiver of this greeting card would normally paste it on the wall of his main hall to show his respect to and appreciation for the visitor. The quantity of greeting card received reflected the person's public relationship with others, while the names and status of the people who gave the greeting cards indicated the host's boundary of social network and standard of living. Nowadays, because of easy communication, convenient transportation system and wider social network, when people send their greetings they tend to follow the Western style. The greeting is now done by mail and even by email. Today, he zheng is done by simply bringing along red packets and food presents when making a visit. To be in line with the custom of to giving away money on the first day, families in some places do not pay New Year call to others. Instead, the whole family simply goes out to enjoy themselves or stayed at home for family happiness. 6. In the past, there was a superstition that when a person left his house in the New Year, he must take the correct first step. A particular person would look for the fortunate direction in accordance with the day, month and year of this birth basing on the explanation of Chinese calendar. On Yuan Dan, when a person stepped out of his house, he must go in the fortunate direction and avoid the unfortunate direction. Even people of less particularity also consulted Chinese calendar to find out where the fortunate directions and fierce deities were before the first step out of their houses. Meaning From the above mentioned customs, we can see that there are especially many taboos during Chinese New Year. On Yuan Dan in particular, there are more taboos on speech and behaviour than those on other ordinary days. Similarly, there are more activities in pursuit of good cause than usual. On probing the activities and taboos, we have no difficulty to understand that the theme behind is always related to fortune, wealth and goodness, and that people usually concern themselves with a good beginning for the year. Some taboos may look superstitious on the surface, but they do produce efficacy. If we practise them circumspectively, they will yield practical results. For example, the prohibition of bad words, quarrel, weeping and crying, together with the emphasis on thinking positively even when things are broken, provide some normative rules for people to follow. This gives people the opportunity to mend their ways, to develop good attitudes, and to form a habit of thinking positively and looking at the good side of things. The prohibition of sweeping and disposing the rubbish in the first five days forces people to arrange their things and clear away the rubbish properly at the end of each year, so that no unwanted things will be carried forward to the new year. At the same time, the taboo also compels people to learn to be thrifty. This is because to prevent accumulated things from becoming rubbish, people must be careful in the use of any paper or other things, and thus avoid waste of things. The avoidance of medicine and sneeze on the first day looks like a joke and is absurd as far as the patient is concerned. However, because of the taboos, people will be conscious enough to take serious care of their health during the windy and snowing season. Thus, they will avoid falling sick in the New Year and wasting away the precious spring hours. Nowadays, people have abandoned the custom of bringing along greeting cards when they go for New Year house visits. However, Chinese Malaysians still maintain the habit of sending New Year greeting cards by post before the New Year. There are even non-Chinese sending New Year greeting cared in English or Malay languages to their Chinese friends. Moreover, the Chinese like to use colourful New Year cared to decorate their houses, so as to strengthen the New Year atmosphere. Like the ancient days' greeting cards for he zheng which were displayed in the main hall, these modern New Year cards also reflect the social position of the persons who receive the cards. Thus, in the way, the ancient rite of he zheng has developed in Malaysia with a Malaysian colour.

“元”有始之意，“旦”指天明的时间，也通指白天。元旦，便是一年开始的第一天。“元旦”一词，最早出自南朝梁人萧子云《介雅》诗：“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”宋代吴自牧《梦梁录》卷一“正月”条目：“正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。 我国历代元旦的月日并不一致。夏代在正月初一，商代在十二月初一，周代在十一月初一，秦始皇统一六国后，又以十月初一日为元旦，自此历代相沿未改（《史记》）。汉武帝太初元年时，司马迁创立了“太初历”，这才又以正月初一为元旦，和夏代规定一样，所以又称“夏历”，一直沿用到辛亥革命。中华民国建立，孙中山为了“行夏正，所以顺农时；从西历，所以便统计”，定正月初一（元旦）为春节，而以西历（公历）1月1日为新年。 在当代，元旦指公元纪年的岁首第一天。自西历传入我国以后，元旦一词便专用于新年，传统的旧历年则称春节。 而在此之前，元旦一直是指农历岁首第一天的。元是“初”“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一界全体会议决议：“中华人民共和国纪年采用公元纪年法”，即是我们所说的阳历，为了区别农历和阳历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四节气中的“立春”恰在农历新年的前后，因此便把农历正月初一改称为“春节”，阳历一月一日定为“元旦”，至此，元旦才成为全国人民的欢乐节日。 庆贺新年的开始，欢度元旦可说是世界各国各地区的普遍习俗。在我国，还列入了国定假日。我国和世界上大多数国家、地区采用公历纪年法，把1月1日定为新年的开始，称作“元旦”。 由于世界各国所处的经度位置不同，各国的时间也不同，因此，“元旦”的日期也有不同。如大洋洲的岛国汤加位于日界线的西侧，它是世界上最先开始的一天的地方，也是最先庆祝元旦的国家。而位于日界线东侧的西萨摩亚则是世界上最迟开始新的一天的地方。按公历计，我国是世界上第12个开始新年的国家。

我们从小就知道每年阳历的1月1号就是我们传统节日“元旦”，但是有多少人知道它的具体来历呢？2010年的元旦马上就要来到，我们就来说说英文元旦的由来。中国的元旦，据传说起于三皇五帝之一的颛顼，距今已有3000多年的历史。“元旦”一词最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春”的诗中。南北朝时，南朝萧子云的《介雅》诗中也有“四季新元旦，万寿初春朝”的记载。 China's New Year's Day, reportedly talking about at one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Zhuanxu, have elapsed since the 3000 years of history. "New Year's Day" first appeared in the "Book of Jin": "Zhuan Yuan Emperor to muong xia first month, in fact, our rules on New Year's Spring" in poetry. Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Xiaozi clouds "Jie Ya," poem also has "Four Seasons New Year's Day, Wanshou spring moving towards a" well documented. 中国最早称农历正月初一为“元旦”，元是“初”、“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。正月初一从哪日算起，在汉武帝以前也是很不统一的。因此，历代的元旦月、日也并不一致。夏朝的夏历以孟喜月（元月）为正月，商朝的殷历以腊月（十二月）为正月，周朝的周历以冬月（十一月）为正月。秦始皇统一中国后，又以阳春月（十月）为正月，即十月初一为元旦。从汉武帝起，才规定孟喜月（元月）为正月，把孟喜月的第一天（夏历的正月初一）称为元旦，一直沿用到清朝末年。但这是夏历，亦即农历或阴历，还不是我们今天所说的元旦。 China's New Year's Day, reportedly talking about at one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Zhuanxu, have elapsed since the 3000 years of history. "New Year's Day" first appeared in the "Book of Jin": "Zhuan Yuan Emperor to muong xia first month, in fact, our rules on New Year's Spring" in poetry. Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Xiaozi clouds "Jie Ya," poem also has "Four Seasons New Year's Day, Wanshou spring moving towards a" well documented. 公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命，推翻了清朝的统治，建立了中华民国。为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历（实际使用是1912年），并规定阳历（公历）1月1日为“新年”，但并不叫“元旦”。 AD 1911, the 1911 Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty rule and founded the Republic of China. In order to "line XIA, so shun farming season, from the Western calendar, so they Statistics," In the first year of the decision to use the Gregorian calendar (the actual use is 1912), and provides Gregorian calendar (the Gregorian calendar) January 1 to "New Year", but does not called "New Year's Day." 今天所说的“元旦”，是公元1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一次全体会议，在决定建立中华人民共和国的同时，也决定采用世界通用的公元纪年法，并将公历1月1日正式定为“元旦”，农历正月初一改为“春节”。 Said today's "New Year's Day," is the year September 27, 1949, the first plenary session of the CPPCC, in the decision to establish the People's Republic also decided to adopt the world-wide AD Annals law, and the Gregorian calendar a On 1, officially designated as "New Year's Day," who started the first lunar month to "Spring Festival."

元旦在我国汉语中是一个合成词，元是开始或第一的意思。旦是一个象形字，表示太阳从地平线上升起。我国殷商时代的青铜器上有旦的象形字了。 每年公历的1月1日，人们称它为“元旦”，原来在汉语里，“元”是开始，也就是第一;“旦”是一天或早晨的意思，两字合称就是指新年的第一天了。

但这从一开始就并不是固定的。 元旦节的来历 在历法上，人们习惯称地球绕太阳转1周为1年。但是由于地球绕太阳运转没有固定的起点和终点，所以一年的起点和终点都是人为规定的，这就造成了各种历法的不一致。相传“元旦”一词来自我国最早的皇帝之一——颛顼，他规定以农历正月为“元”，初一为“旦”。

后来有的朝代对元旦的日期有所变更，但原则上还是以每年的第一天为元旦，如夏代以正月初一为元旦，但商代以12月初一为元旦，而周代又以11月初一为元旦，秦代以10月初一为元旦。直到西汉武帝时，大历史学家司马迁等人重新制定历法，并规定每年正月初一为元旦，从此历代不改。

1911年辛亥革命成功后，决定采用国际通行的公历，于是将农历元旦改为“春节”，而把公历的1月1日称为元旦。新中国成立之时，开始正式使用“公元纪年法”，把每年公历的1月1日定为元旦。 现在，世界上大多数国家把每年1月1日作为元旦，因为他们多采用了国际通行的公历。但也有一些国家和民族由于本地的历法传统及宗教信仰、风俗习惯、季节气候的不同，因而他们的元旦日期也不一样，这也使得这个世界多姿多彩，更显民族的特色了。

元旦是全世界人民传统的新年。元旦，就是一年的头一天。元旦是合成词，拆开来讲，元是第一或开始的意思，旦字的原意是一轮红日从地面升起。 在中国，元旦这一名称，都说起自传说中三皇五帝之一的颛顼，他以农历正月为元，初一为旦。

据《史记》载：夏代以正月初一为元旦;周代以十一月初一为元旦;秦以十月初一为元旦。辛亥革命后，我国把正月初一称作春节，公历1月1日叫新年，不称元旦。直到1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议通过使用公元纪年法，才又将公历1月1日正式定为元旦，农历正月初一定为春节。

阴历的祖先埃及历，把天狼星和太阳一同升起的那天作为元旦;阿富汗把春分作为元旦;犹太人把秋分作为元旦;而寒带的爱斯基摩人的元旦是不固定的，他们把第一次下雨作为元旦。公元前46年，罗马皇帝儒略·凯撒制定儒略历，开始时他把冬至作为元旦。但是，人们坚持要把朔日作为元旦，因此就把元旦延到冬至后10天。

They recorded this time on bamboo poles each time, and learned that the two flooding times were separated by about 365 days. At the same time, it was also discovered that when the rising tide of the Nile came near the city of Cairo today, it was also the time when the sun and Sirius rose from the horizon at the same time.

As a result, the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of New Year's Day.

New Year's Day is a compound word in Chinese, and Yuan is the beginning or the first meaning. But it is a pictograph that shows that the sun rises from the horizon.

There are Dan's pictographs on the bronze wares of the Shang Dynasty in China. On January 1 of the Gregorian calendar every year, people call it "New Year's Day." In Chinese, "Yuan" is the beginning, that is, the first; "Dan" means a day or morning, and the word means the first day of the New Year.

But it wasn't fixed from the start. The origin of New Year's Day is in the calendar. People are used to saying that the earth rotates around the sun for 1 week.

However, because there is no fixed starting point and ending point for the earth to orbit the sun, the starting point and ending point of the year are man-made, which causes inconsistencies in various calendars. According to legend, the word "New Year's Day" comes from one of the earliest emperors in our country-Yi. He stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar is "Yuan" and the first day is "Dan".

Later, some dynasties changed the date of the New Year's Day, but in principle, the first day of each year was the New Year's Day. For example, the Xia Dynasty used the first day of the first month as the New Year's Day, but the Shang Dynasty used the first day of December as the New Year's Day, and the Zhou Dynasty used the first day of November as the New Year's Day.

The Qin Dynasty used the first day of October as the New Year's Day. Until the time of Emperor Han of the Western Han Dynasty, the great historian Sima Qian and others redefined the calendar and stipulated that the first day of the first month of each year was New Year's Day.

After the successful Revolution of 1911 in 1911, it was decided to adopt the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar, so the Lunar New Year's Day was changed to the "Spring Festival" and the January 1st of the Gregorian calendar was called New Year's Day. When New China was founded, it began to formally use the "Year of the Year Act" and set January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day.

Nowadays, most countries in the world regard January 1 as New Year's Day because they have adopted the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar. However, there are also some countries and ethnic groups whose New Year's Day dates are not the same because of their local calendar traditions, religious beliefs, customs, and seasonal climate. This also makes the world colorful and shows the characteristics of the nation.

New Year's Day is a traditional New Year for people all over the world. New Year's Day is the first day of the year. New Year's Day is a compound word. In terms of opening, Yuan is the first or beginning meaning.

The original meaning of the word is that a red day rises from the ground. In China, the name of New Year's Day is spoken of from the legend of one of the three emperors and five emperors. He uses the first month of the lunar calendar as the yuan and the first day as Dan.

According to "Historical Records", the Xia Dynasty used the first day of the first month as New Year's Day; The Zhou Dynasty used the first day of November as the New Year's Day; Qin used the first day of October as New Year's Day.

After the Revolution of 1911, China called the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival, the Gregorian calendar on January 1 called the New Year, not called New Year's Day.

It was not until September 27, 1949 that the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference passed the use of the Year of the AD law before formally setting the Gregorian calendar on January 1 as New Year's Day. The first month of the lunar calendar must be the Spring Festival.

The Egyptian calendar, the ancestor of the lunar calendar, regards the day when Sirius and the sun rise together as New Year's Day; The Afghan vernal equinox as New Year's Day; Jews use the equinox as New Year's Day; The frigid Eskimos 'New Year's Day is not fixed. They regard the first rain as New Year's Day.

In 46 BC, the Roman emperor Julian Caesar formulated the Julian calendar. At the beginning, he used the winter solstice as New Year's Day. However, people insist that the new day should be New Year's Day, so the New Year's Day should be extended to 10 days after the winter solstice.

The earliest New Year's Day came about 50,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians had changed from nomadism to farming and settled on both sides of the Nile River. Their agricultural harvest was closely related to whether the Nile River flooded or not.

From long-term observation, the ancient Egyptians found that the Nile flooded regularly. They recorded the time on bamboo poles every time, and learned that the two floods were about 365 days apart.

They also found that when the rising tide of the Nile came near Cairo today, the sun and Sirius rose from the horizon at the same time. So the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of New Year's Day.

关于元旦的来历，可追溯到中国夏朝。在中国夏朝时产生了“夏历”，就是现在的“农历”。农历正月初一为“岁首”，岁首这天就叫元旦。元者，始也，旦者，晨也。元旦就是一年的第一个早晨。
